filed with the FCC, Clear Channel cited poor financial performance as the reason for going silent. The FCC approved the Special Temporary Authority application on February 20, 2008. Current ownership Clear Channel kept KMFX dark for a period of about three years, when it donated the station to a non-profit group, Minority Media and Telecommunications Council, based in Washington, DC. However, the station would not sign on under the new owner, but was instead sold by MMTC to a Minnesota-based owner, Q Media LLC, for $15,000. This company, headed by Alan Quarnstrom, owns six other stations in surrounding markets. Upon the consummation of the sale to Q Media on June 15, 2011, the station resumed regular broadcast operations. On July 9, 2013, Q Media acquired an FM translator at 99.7 from Faith Sound, Inc., for $75,000, and signed on with WBHA's programming a short time later. WBHA's operations today originate out of Red Wing, with Q Media's other stations.
